Online Pharmacies

I was on a medication that was taken off the market, oh, about two years ago. It made my life close to 100% better, but the FDA likes to give it to people up the ass with a cheesegrater, so I was left to fend for myself.
I initially took the risk and used an online pharmacy which I cannot recall right now - I received my medication, albeit wrapped in the Indian Times, but it came with free viagra which was awesome. Unfortunately, they DO send spam about C1aL1s so that sucks. But, no identity theft, no weird charges on my credit card. Eventually I found another website that was cheaper and offered bonus pills of the medication you actually needed as opposed to unsolicited Viagra. Which was still awesome, but Christ I really was just looking for my medication.
This place allows for expedited shipping, and with each order, because I am a repeat customer, I get 20% free pills, so I essentially get almost an extra month's worth of medication for no additional charge. They have customer service, don't spam, and what REALLY got me, is that I was looking for a drug (honestly don't feel like going through all of the insurance bullshit and still having to pay a horrendous co-pay, etc., etc.) , and thought "Why don't I just email my online pharmacy and see if they will ever stock it or if they can recommend someone?"
They got back to me in less than 24 hours with a message that unfortunately didn't help me because they don't stock it and didn't have anyone else to refer me to, but they GOT BACK TO ME.

My point is, that so many people look down their noses at international pharmacies but some of them are completely legit. And if you don't feel like going to the doctor on a Tuesday afternoon, paying the $20.00 - $40.00 co-pay, going to get the script filled, having to go back in, pay another $20.00+ co-pay JUST do get another script, it may be worth your while.
